There’s no need to move your arms when your feet are this fast. But smiling is encouraged.

A group of performers from McTeggart Irish Dancers, an academy with a school in south Littleton, danced a few jigs Sunday at Bemis Library to ring in St. Patrick’s Day a little early.

While Irish dancing is known for fancy footwork but not a lot of upper-body movement, teacher Anne Babcock said Irish dancers have to use their entire bodies to perform the fast moves and high kicks featured in the traditional dance.

For a group of high school students, the road to rock stardom starts in Littleton.

Divide Zero, winner of the 2013 Foothills Park and Rec Battle of the Bands, is promoting its first full-length album, “Reflections.” The year-long project, which the band finished late last year, has been a life-altering experience for the pop-punk quartet of high-schoolers.

The Foothills Park and Recreation District hosted 100 father-daughter pairs Saturday at its Daddy Daughter Valentine Ball at The Peak Community Center. The evening dance gave the fathers and daughters a chance to make some special memories.

“It’s been great. I taught her to do a little swing dancing, and now she won’t let me off the dance floor,” said Robert Rivera.

The library’s “Created Equal: America’s Civil Rights Struggle” discussion series kicked off Feb. 5 with the first of four films aimed at sparking a conversation about the struggle by African-Americans for equality in the United States.

The house had become a prison for Jeaninne Kasa. But that was before the Zephyr Express.

Kasa, 54, has a progressive form of multiple sclerosis, a chronic disease that attacks the central nervous system. Within two years of her diagnosis in 2010, the former elementary school teacher had lost the ability to walk up and down the stairs in her home near Lilley Gulch Park.

“Oh, boy, it was hard. I was depressed,” Kasa said. “We went through a lot of troubles back then.”
